Any and ALL alien talk should be directed through this "man"... he'll give you the REAL lowdown on everything "unidentified".

Brian storming sessions have already drawn the blinds on any such information and the implications. Nuff said.

Nothing incorrect about this in the domestic sense - look at Granville and Waterfall!

Seriously though:-
When residing in PNG back in 1978, read about a report of UFO activity very late one night, that was seen by a mission priest and adjoining village in the highlands back in 1954. Usual thing we've come to know, lights-orange, speed, up-down the valley, then eventually high speed vertical till simply not seen etc. We are talking big mountain ranges and valleys and crystal clear air at night.

The earliest UFO event I know of was that told me by my now deceased grandmother. It happened back in 1924 in Cooranbong at Alton Road. At the time their property was an orchard and BIG, kept chooks, pigs - domestic.

Deep down the back at about 10pm the then family comprising grandmother, grandfather and great-grandparents, had their attention drawn one night by animal disturbance (pigs-chickens) to a roundish, metalic-pantop lid like object deep down the back paddock, just inside the row of native trees running left-right, bordering the property, parallel in line with Alton Road, but not next it - down the back.

It made no noise, she described that it had downward bluish light, but this was not permananet-on/off a while, alternating-fluctuating red-ish light around the edges. They watched this event, from the back stairs, were very intrigued but were not in any manner going to approach it.

Grandfather was involved in the nearby STA church, with fearful voice ushered grandma in; "C'mon Eileen - we'd better get inside". It departed maybe 15 minutes later "at temendous speed".

It's not something spoken of freely, but stayed with them in family discussions till the end.

In WW2, allied pilots over Europe would refer to "Foo Fighters", craft of some description, that seemed to observe, including 'play' with enemy aircraft during dogfights, 'tag'. These moved at extremely high speed, would stop suddenly, take off at all angles. I don't know what the axis fighters called them.

The SR71 wasn't replaced with anything. It just became cheaper and a lot less risky to use satellite recon.

The yanks still use similar aircraft, watching C-Band sat TV, a South American nation complaining of "US spy flights", supersonic and almost to A daily timetable, that their airforce couLdn't catch - right on cue the sonic boom smack middle of the news conference!:-)

Geez, that's pretty close to my first investment property - I'll have to tell the tennants to ensure they have their Emergency Raelian Repellant™ handy.

Apparently i herd that the in California they have a UFO type thing and it can travel from there to australia in minutes. Beilve it or dont.

I belive the government have this sort of stuff.

What about when the Alien was kept at the white house when kennedy was there and ufo`s came down to get the alien back. Yes i no it sounds dumb but there was fighter jets circling the white house all night and alot of people saw it.

This is the recurring story... Cover-ups, denials, de-bunks.
A characteristic of a UFO which is hard to relate to something originating on earth is its tremendous speed and sudden change of direction without slowing.
The authorities are stumped if they can't offer a plausible explanation, so then they bury the issue.

We all witnessed it.

Heres what I deduced from the encounter. Aircraft at high altitude and at high speed do not perform instant 90 degree high speed turns without turning their pilots into Jelly or turning said aircraft into a loose assortment of wreckage. Hence it wasnt a conventional aircraft.

Satellites sure as hell dont change direction in such a manner, and they sure as hell dont just decide to stop and wait in a geosync orbit. Hence it wasnt a satellite.

Sure as hell unidentified. Sure as hell Flying. Sure as hell an object.
I had a similar experience one night near Tamworth, was lying in the back of the ute amusing myself watching satellites cross the night sky when one of them performed a 90 degree turn and disappeared over the horizon.

Regards,
Tote

I can vouch for these things too ! , when visiting the country around roakwood/ballarat years ago we would lye on our back of a night and watch the sky. With the country being so dark ( no city lights ) you can see the sky/starts really clear on a clear/non cloudy night. 'EVERYTIME' i have been up there i check it out and they are allways around. I noticed that most of the activity would allways be around 3.00am in the morning , the sky was literally buzzing with action always around 3.am.
I saw plenty of them do wierd manouvers (non satellite like). The best 1 myself and my mate whitnesses was a particular one we was both watching, it was heading from the west arcross the sky to the east, the moon was in the top middle of the sky ( full moon ) , this thing headed towards it heading at the middle left of the moon , then it like went around the top of the moon untin it reached the right hand middle side then continued on its course for a while , until it got nearlly fully east , then it shot off across the sky upwards and back towards the NW . It was like whatever it was was actually inline with the moon and went around it !.. hehehe. GOod stuff watching them, still plenty of them around nowerdays too , just gotta be in a dark area to watch them ( in the counrty is perfect , away drom city lights ).
